Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Traps
Inventor: FONDU LEON
Filed: 1905-11-29
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 24,717. Fondu, L. Nov. 29. Steam traps.-The drain pipe T communicates by the branches T', T" with the bottom and top, respectively, of a casing A, within which moves a suitably guided piston C. A number of holes in the casing, which are uncovered when the piston falls or is depressed by the handle shown, allow the water in the branch T" to escape into an annular passage 0 in communication with the discharge pipe F. The branch T' normally remains full of water, and maintains a constant pressure beneath the piston, which is depressed by a sufficient accumulation of water in the branch T" acting on its upper surface, the dished shape of which allows sediment to collect. The piston may be replaced by a weighted diaphragm, constructed of flexible metal rings hinged together, the motion of which is adapted to actuate a valve in the trap cover.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sewing Machines
Inventor: MERRICK FRANK WOODWARD
Filed: 1906-05-01
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 10,213. Merrick, F. W. May 1. Lock-stitch shuttle sewing-machines.-The shuttle 17, which takes the thread-loop from a hooked needle 6, is mounted obliquely and is driven by toothed gearing 18. The teeth on the periphery of the shuttle are continuous and the opening 176 through which the thread loop passes is of the width of one tooth only. To permit this, the passage must be oblique and therefore the toothed gearing is inclined or helical. The horn 172 of the shuttle is bent over so as to engage the loop on the further side of the needle, and it is so formed that its movement relative to the'needle causes it to shed the loop from the needle hook. When the horn has engaged the loop, a spreader 20 pulls it across the shuttle and retains one side of the loop, while the other traverses the bobbin case. The shuttle thread is tensioned by passing between the continuous edge of the shuttle and the disk 30, which is pressed upon it by a spring 31 behind a presser 32. The spreader 20 is pivoted at 21 and is actuated by a reciprocating camactuated rack 23. The shuttle is rounded away at 178 for the purpose of slackening the under thread, and a rounded swell 179 acts upon the under thread to set the stitch.

Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 8206. Graham, B. April 9. Points and switches; electric railways and tramways. - The track points of railways and tramways, and the conductor points on electric railways and tramways on the overhead-trolly system, are made with fixed tongues, and auxiliary guide rails or conductors are provided which are engaged by auxiliary wheels. The track guide-rails C<1>, Figs. 2 and 4, are fixed on the outside of the track rails and can be engaged by wheels o', o<2> mounted on the car axles so that they can be raised or lowered by the levers H<1>, H<2>. The rims or tyres M are free to revolve on solid centre portions and are retained in position by side plates N. Brackets S which fit over the axle-boxes and are secured to the truck frame or axle-box hold the wheels in position but permit a vertical movement. The side plates N are secured to the operating-levers A<1>, pivoted at T<1>, which are normally retained in their raised position by the spring L. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement as modified for guiding the collector over fixed conductor points. The collector is provided with two auxiliary wheels E<2> which can be raised to engage with a guide-wire F adapted to disengage the collector from the conductor it.is in contact with and guide it on to the other conductor. The bracket carrying the auxiliary wheels is raised by a cord V passing through the centre of the pole fulcrum and attached to the pivoted lever Z. This lever is operated by cords attached to the rods J<1>, J<2>. A modified arrangement for raising the auxiliary wheels is described in the Provisional Specification ; this consists of a bevel-wheel mounted to revolve freely round the trolly standard and secured to the cord V. When the wheel is rotated, it carries the cord with it and raises the guide-wheels. Gearing with this bevelwheel is a smaller bevel-wheel, which is mounted on a pin attached to the standard, and the back of which has ratchet - teeth to engage with two spring-pressed pins on a boss mounted freely on the same shaft. The boss is normally kept out of contact with the ratchet teeth by a spring, but, when rotated by a cord from either end of the car, is pressed into engagement with it by a cam arrangement and operates the bevel-wheels. The metal boss and wheels are returned to their initial position by a spring in the boss when the cord is released.

Abstract: 16,631. Davies, D. July 20. Beehives; insects, destroying.-The floor board, Fig. 1, is divided into two portions by a partition with a hole B, the front portion A being hollow and forming a groove for the trap described later. The back portion has a tunnel tapering from the entrance B towards the opening C closed, if necessary, by a slider board from the back (not shown) the whole standing on iron pegs which stand in saucers containing tar or other disagreeable liquid. At the end of the tunnel a small perforated zinc cone is placed, from which the bees cross to an incline and thence to the body-box, thus making it impossible for the bees to return by that route. In a groove in the front of the portion A slides a movable board D adapted to close the hive by reversing it and sliding in the groove. The trap, Fig. 3, fitting into the poriton A has three uprights covered on the top with zinc with the projections F to serve as an alighting board and queen-excluder zinc fixed at the back ; two cones of perforated zinc are fixed over openings in the top plate on each side of the middle up-right. The queen and drones unable to pass through the excluder pass through the cones into the bodybox, which is divided into two sections, the back one being fitted with ten standard frames and a dummy one, the front with three frames and a shallow one forming the swarm-catching section. In the front of the latter is cut an oblong hole covered in the swarming season with queenexcluder zinc K, Fig. 7. The wall between the two sections is provided with an oblique tunnel, provided with air holes and with its ends covered with perforated zinc f. If an artificial swarm is required, the frames may ba replaced by a wellventilated box with cones which fit over those in the trap, the workers making their way through the cones into the box.
